Checked battery, it's good. When key is turned to start hear single click behind primary battery fuse cover. The doors will lock and unlock as I turn key to start

Hi Mike. Wondering if you've solved your issue. I had/am having a similar issue on the 2000 model. My first no start problem was solved after replacing a bad pulley in the A/C compressor. You might try popping the belt off and see if it starts up with the belt removed. Try hand turning the pulleys.

If you got back up and running let us know how!
